Thanks guys, I was afraid of that. I used cultivator shanks ,mounted on a 3pt. tool bar, to make my row marks with, then dropped my spuds in by hand. Then I ran hiller discs, down the row to cover them. I ended up with about,a 10 in. tall continous hill. When I dug down through the hill, till I found potatoes, I was around 8 in. deep. Those rows were about 85 ft. long, the narrow way across my house garden. There was only 2 rows of pontiac reds, and 2 rows of yukon golds. I am glad I asked before I started on the potatoes for the market. We have 2 different farmers markets in the Olympia area, which I have used for my sweet corn, I figured that I would add some potatoes, to it this year, and see how they do. I think I might be able to take the ac b, with the blade and knock part of the dirt off of those 4 rows. Sure glad that I've got grandkids to help out here. Ever heard of teenagers who will work? Well my youngest son has three of them. 2girls, and a boy, and grandpa is not ashamed to use them. Both of them girls use the little B and the riding mower. the youngest is 13 and she ran the post hole digger , last fall, while Grampa held the auger in place We made about 400 ft. of woven wire fence. Thanks Guys

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
